Rahul Dravid has warned India not to underestimate Asian rivals Bangladesh when the two sides meet in the World Cup on Saturday.

Bangladesh pulled off a stunning win over New Zealand in the warm-ups last week and the Indian skipper is wary of complacency creeping into his highly-fancied side.

"I expect the team to put up a very professional and clinical performance, irrespective of who we play against. We respect Bangladesh. We have seen what they have done against New Zealand," said Dravid.

"We have to be switched on for that game. I expect everyone to be switched on for every game in the World Cup."

Dravid said his team had been looking forward to playing against Bangladesh at what should be a packed Queen's Park Oval.

"We are happy to be in Trinidad. We do enjoy a lot of support here. We are looking forward to playing that game and I think the atmosphere will be very exciting," added the Indian captain.

India will also play Group B matches here against Sri Lanka and debutants Bermuda, with the top two sides qualifying for the next Super Eight stage.

Dravid added that he wants his lower order to develop all-round strength if they are to last the course over seven weeks.

"There might be stages in a game where they have to make crucial contributions. There might be one match in the tournament or two, but they could be most important games," he said.

"Credit to them that a lot of them have really improved. They are really working hard on it. We expect runs from them."

India coach Greg Chappell said the team are ready to play after a relaxing time in Montego Bay in Jamaica.

"The guys have enjoyed a few days of peace and quiet before the tournament, so in a way that's been good. Now, everyone is keen for the tournament to start," said Chappell.

"We've have been practising, relaxing, swimming, sailing and snorkeling. We have been doing things you would expect to do in the West Indies, things that sometimes the guys don't get an opportunity to do."

Chappell was satisfied with his team's performances in the warm-up games where India won both of their matches, beating the Netherlands and the West Indies.

"In warm-up games, you are trying to do different things and I think we got most of things we wanted from these matches," he said.
